Inthis research, Frost & Sullivan’s expert analysts thoroughly examine thefollowing markets: active safety systems, which includes anti-lock brakingsystems, electronic brakeforce distribution, traction control system, electronicstability control, brake assist system, and seat belt warning, and passivesafety systems such as seat belts, seat belt pretensioners, load limiters,collapsible steering column, driver and co-passenger airbags, and side andcurtain airbags. “This has translated intothe need for marketing competitive products, and vehicle manufacturers areefficiently reducing cost as well as providing customers more value for money byintroducing features that were, until now, designed exclusively for high-endvehicles.” This Frost & Sullivan research service titled Indian Passenger Vehicle SafetySystems Markets provides an insight into the active and passive safety systemsmarkets in India and estimates the future growth of each of these segments. “Increasing availability ofmodels in the market provides customers with innumerable choices of comparablenature,” notes the analyst of this research service. Cost implicationsplay a critical role in the choice of a particular model, particularly in themarket for entry-level cars and utility vehicles. Although penetration rates in the Indian passenger vehicle safety systems marketare low at present, prospects will receive a significant boost in the future.The active safety systems segment is expected to outpace the growth of thepassive safety systems. The government’s directive mandating the use ofseatbelts has been primarily responsible for triggering growth in the passivesafety systems segment.
As awareness on safety rises among users, vehicle manufacturers are using thesefeatures as differentiators to market their low-end vehicles. Traction control systems (TCS) andelectronic stability control (ESC) too are restricted to high-end vehicles atpresent. Apart from ABS,electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) and brake assist system (BAS) areseeing widespread adoption in the market. Advancedsafety features remain confined to the luxury vehicle segment. Though the pace of transition has been modest, theoutlook is promising with the introduction of anti-lock braking systems (ABS) inlow-end cars Until now, ABS is featured only in high-end vehicles. Seatbelts comprised 76.9 percent of the total passivesafety systems market.
